In the third quarter, the wolf smoke resumed

checked the records, and sure enough, what Liu Guanjiao said was right. The prisoners in the east courtyard are all prisoners of the original team, and the west courtyard is held by the four spies captured in Kawaguchi Town.

That is to say, the person who wanted to assassinate the fat spy, but he didn't expect that after the arraignment of Changsheng this afternoon, Liu Guanjiao switched the rooms of the two, the black light was blind, and the person who came didn't look carefully at the people in the house, so he hurriedly got off his hand and fled.

The faces of these people were cloudy again, and the joy of the victory of the first trial in the afternoon was suddenly washed away by the ghosts of the dark night.

Lao Feng is a tough guy, at this time he is a little embarrassed to think about the tragic death of Changsheng, the family is at a loss with the death of Changsheng, and at the moment he is sorry in his heart, and he instructed Liu Guan to lead people to roll Changsheng's body with a kang mat first, and go to the coffin shop tomorrow to buy a coffin, and bury Changsheng and his dead family in a pile.

took out a few border tickets from his pocket and handed them to Xiao Liu, which was the coffin money given by Lao Feng himself. Hong Mei stepped forward to stop her, saying that this matter was the responsibility of the town office, and the money to bury Changsheng was paid by the government.

Lao Feng's heart is heavy, the case has become more confusing with the murder of Changsheng, no matter how vicious and difficult the imprisoned spies are, there is always a way to clean them up, how to make the hidden enemy in this dark night make him visible, Lao Feng couldn't think of a clue for a while.

After a few simple words, Lao Feng left the courtyard by himself and returned to the brigade headquarters. Hong Mei and Section Chief Jin stayed for a while, and together with Xiao Liu and the soldiers guarding the prisoners in the courtyard, they readjusted the location and number of laid-off posts.

Originally, there were fixed posts and patrol posts in the courtyard, and when the prisoner was killed, it was necessary to strengthen the supervision of Liliang. Hong Meirang added two fixed posts, one outside the courtyard wall and one on the roof, and the number of patrol posts in and outside the courtyard was also increased.

The squad leader in charge of guarding the prisoners had some opinions, saying that with this arrangement, a squad member could not stare at it all twelve hours a day. Hong Mei said with a straight face that she would immediately transfer them to another shift, and if this situation happened tonight again, the staff on duty must be dealt with seriously.

After tossing for most of the night, Hong Mei and Section Chief Jin returned to the station, and their bodies were almost like falling apart. I didn't wash my clothes or take off my tired face, and I fell asleep as soon as I squinted on the kang.

Before dawn, a sharp knock on the door woke up the three female comrades in the house. Little Golden Lock put on his clothes and went to remove the deadbolt, opened a crack and asked who it was?

It was the officer in charge of reception and liaison work of the special committee of the prefecture, and there was a person behind him, Xiao Jin locked his eyes and looked down, but he didn't know him.

The officer eagerly asked if the commissar was there? Someone from the military region came to look for her, and after speaking, she handed in a piece of paper. It is a letter of certification printed with the official seal of the military region, which proves that the person who came is a person from the operations department of the military region and has important information to convey.

At this time, Hongmei had already gotten up, took the letter of proof, read it, and confirmed that it was the official seal of the military region, and the letter was written by Director Shu of the Political Department of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.

Director Shu personally wrote a letter to the Lingman Special Area, explaining that the person who came brought a major situation, Hong Mei did not dare to slack off, and immediately asked Jin Suo to open the door and let the person enter the house.

Xiao Jinsuo poured a bowl of water and put it on the table, Section Chief Jin lit the oil lamp, closed the door, and Hong Mei and the people sent by the military region were left in the room.

This sturdy man in his thirties is a staff officer of the Operations Department of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region; since the day before yesterday, more than a dozen staff officers of the Operations Department have been sent out, except for those who have been left on duty, and he is responsible for coming to the Lingman Prefecture to convey information.

The three pieces of paper were taken out of the briefcase, and they were not handed directly to Hong Mei, Hong Mei stretched out her hand and wanted to take it, but when she saw that the other party did not mean to hand it over, she was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that she had not yet asked the family to confirm her identity.

Hurriedly took out the appointment certificate of the military region from the satchel, as well as his party membership card and the work card of the Lingman Prefecture, and after the person who came took it and carefully checked it, he took out a notebook from the official subcontract and asked Hong Mei to sign and confirm the receipt of the documents, and then handed over the three pieces of paper.

Hong Mei took it, and just as she was about to look, the staff officer of the combat department stood up, raised her hand and saluted on her chest with a "snap", and was about to leave without taking a sip of the water on the table. Hong Mei hurriedly got up and called the staff officer, saying that she had to drink some water and eat before leaving.

The staff officer smiled and said, saying that there is still a way to go, and the time cannot be delayed, and he will take all the food and drink with him, and solve it on the road.

The only thing that troubled Shimokawaguchi Town was the change of horses, and the horses that the staff officers rode out of the military district office were already exhausted, and they had to go to the next delivery point when they changed horses.

Hong Mei seemed that the person who delivered the letter was in such a hurry and in a hurry, and she realized in her heart that something big was going to happen, otherwise the staff officers of the combat department of the military region would not have personally come out to deliver the letter. The sub-district headquarters all have radio stations, and the Hongmei sub-district is in the middle of the No. 1 sub-district and the No. 6 sub-district, and it is very quick to ask any special district to send someone to convey it.

But the people of the military region came on horseback to deliver the message, and that was definitely something that could not be said on the radio.

Looking at the three pieces of paper, Hong Mei's judgment was not bad at all! Something big is going to happen!

The second phase of the Devil's Sweep has officially begun! Beginning the night before yesterday, the Japanese army in North China began a military offensive against the three base areas of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei, Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu, and Hebei-Shandong-Henan.

This sweep was unprecedented in the confrontation between the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army, both geographically and in terms of the forces used.

The area involved covers almost all areas of the North China Plain, from the south of Shanhaiguan to the north bank of the Yellow River, from Daqingshan to Weihaiwei, from Wutai Mountain to Taishan, from Tongpu Road to Jinghan Road.

According to reliable intelligence, the Japanese army dispatched troops to North China have a total of 11 full-fledged divisions, 6 independent brigades, some auxiliary units and air forces, plus the traitor troops such as the Imperial Association Army and the Public Security Army, the total number has reached nearly 300,000!

Among them, the combat units of the Japanese army directly used in the area under the jurisdiction of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region reached nearly 100,000 people in four divisions and two brigades, and there was also the support of no less than one air force and two tank brigades.

This is called the rolling thunder method of warfare, and the devils want to use this intensive sweeping method to completely destroy the base area of the Eighth Route Army and turn it into a dead man's area and no man's land.

This document says that this information was transmitted by our party's intelligence personnel who had penetrated into the devil's interior, and the source and authenticity of the information were absolutely reliable.

The military region informed that the devils used dumbbell tactics against the Jin-Cha-Ji base area, with the two big heads being one south and one north, the south being the rear of the Fuping Sixth Sub-district on Zhengtai Road, and the Pingbei District to the north, and the Xiangshang devils gathered 70,000 troops on these two sides.

In addition, in the Lingqiu and Wutai areas of Shanxi, Mancheng and Yixian areas of Hebei, the devils also gathered more than 10,000 rapid troops, and the intelligence showed that they were advancing to the east and west, reopening the communication line from Yixian to Lingqiu, and Lingman Road was also in the devil's jihua.

When Hong Mei saw this, her heart became heavy, so that Kawaguchi Town is still calm and peaceful, the entire North China Plain is already full of wolf smoke, countless villages are about to be devastated by war, and countless people and villagers are about to be displaced again.

Director Shu reminded Hong Mei that the Lingman Prefecture not only had to face the devils advancing from the east to the west, but also helped the local governments and troops on the front line of Laiyuan to resist the devil sweep from the flank, and at the same time, under the heavy pressure of the devils from the north and south, there will definitely be a large number of troops, organs and people in the base area who will enter the jurisdiction of the Lingman Prefecture during the transfer process.

Doing a good job in reception and resettlement is also a heavy burden on the shoulders of the Lingman Special Zone.

After reading the letter, Hong Mei bit her lip and thought for a while, just as Section Chief Jin pushed the door in, Hong Mei stood up with a sigh of relief, pulled Section Chief Jin and walked out of the courtyard in a hurry.

The two walked to the courtyard of the independent brigade headquarters, and the door of Lao Feng's house was hidden and not closed tightly. The sky was dark, and there was still a little light through the holes in the window paper, and it seemed that the people in the house should get up.

Hong Mei pushed the door open, and only one foot went in, and the back foot couldn't move! The house is smoky, and the smell of smoke and fire is choking! The smoke was so smoky that Hong Mei's eyes couldn't open!

Is this on fire or what? Section Chief Jin hurriedly opened the door wide, picked up the broom standing at the root of the wall, and waved it vigorously to drive away the smoke in the room, dissipated a little, and then rushed in to see what was going on?

What's the matter, the smoke in a room is not on fire, it comes from Lao Feng's cigarette pouch and pot!
